Animal Protein
Biological Mechanisms
How Animal Protein works at a cellular level.
- SupportsIncreases dietary acid load, damaging kidneys over time
Animal protein has higher sulfur-containing amino acids that produce sulfuric acid, contributing to kidney damage through tubular toxicity from ammonia overproduction.
- PromotesmTOR Activation
- InhibitsAutophagy
Anything that activates mTOR, like animal protein, may also suppress the autophagy process
